Smileys and Emotions
Emotions (emotional icons) are used to compensate for the inability to
convey voice inflections, facial expressions, and bodily gestures in
written communication. Some emotions are better known as "smileys."
Emotions can be very effective toward avoiding misinterpretation of the
writer's intents. While there are no standard definitions for the
following emotions, we have supplied their most usual meanings. Most emotions
will look like a face (eyes, nose, and mouth) when rotated 90
degree clockwise.
